Shape â Clostridium perfringens is a large, rod shape (bacillus) bacterium with straight, parallel sides and rounded or truncated ends. (labionix.kz)
This organism, originally known as Bacillus aerogenes capsulatus, was later renamed Bacillus perfringens, and then Clostridium welchii . (medscape.com)
Clostridium sporogenes produce metabolic which are used as source energy for the patient. (labionix.kz)
C. sporogenes is very similar to Clostridium botulinum, which you might have heard of on the T.V. Do humans even contract it? (labionix.kz)
The highly proteolytic nature of Clostridium sporogenes is thought possibly to act as an adjuvant and promote invasiveness of other bacteria in various mixed infections of animals and humans a generalized lethal disease, possibly egg-borne, in newly hatched chicks has been attributed to C. sporogenes. (labionix.kz)
The authors state that clostridium sporogenes are spore forming and gram forming to produce carboxylic acids which are necessary during the reaction in cancer therapy. (labionix.kz)
Clostridium sporogenes is an anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus that comprises a part of the normal intestinal flora. (labionix.kz)
Clostridium sporogenes is a species of Gram-positive bacteria that belongs to the genus Clostridium. (labionix.kz)
Gangrene3
Gas gangrene and clostridial myonecrosis are interchangeable terms used to describe an infection of muscle tissue by toxin-producing clostridia. (medscape.com)
Gas gangrene is caused by an anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus of the genus Clostridium . (medscape.com)
A recent clinical series on gas gangrene demonstrated a predominance (83.3%) of aerobic gram-negative bacilli in wound cultures compared with anaerobic gram-positive bacilli, with Clostridium species accounting for 4.5% of the isolates. (medscape.com)
Anaerobic1
Like other strains of Clostridium, it is an anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that produces oval, subterminal endospores[2] and is commonly found in soil. (labionix.kz)
Species1
Clostridia are obligate anaerobes, but some species are relatively aerotolerant. (medscape.com)
